(Overall Winner of the 2005 Red House Children's Book Award) Mrs. Brains is quite surprised one morning when she comes downstairs to find her new baby is sitting on the couch, reading the newspaper. Soon he's at school, answering questions even the teacher doesn't know, and then acing medical school. One day Baby Brains is invited to join the space program as the first baby in space. So what will this little genius's first words be when he's floating above the earth, all alone? The author and illustrator of Leon and Bob (a winner of the Smarties Book Prize Silver Award) and Days Like This (a finalist for the Kate Greenaway Medal), Simon James gives his pint-sized hero a certain intellectual dignity, in watercolor cartoons that would not be out of place in a magazine for grownups. This activity kit includes a laminated hardbound edition of Baby Brains for youngsters up to 8, a page of stickers with images from the book, and a two-panel backdrop featuring the Brains' living room and outer space. There is also a dual-disc DVD/audio CD for younger children, containing a storybook animation and a read-aloud telling of the story with page-turn signals.
